JULIE STRAIN TOPLINES
TROMA’S FIRST DOGPILE 95 FILM
B-MOVIE QUEEN PRESENTS TROMA’S TALES FROM THE CRAPPER
Cannes, May 19th-
Today at Cannes, Lloyd Kaufman, president of Troma Entertainment and founder of the Dogpile 95 doctrine
announced that principal photography has been completed on Tales
From The Crapper, the first ever film created under the
Dogpile 95 doctrine. International superstar Julie Strain
(Heavy Metal 2000, The Rowdy Girls) stars in the
film. Tales From The Crapper is also a milestone
in that it will mark Troma’s first venture into the world of feature
video productions.
Kaufman, who is also co-executive
producer of the projects, was effusive in his praise of Strain.
“Julie is one of the finest actors Troma has worked with. In
addition to the movies she’s starred in for Troma, she and her
husband, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles creator Kevin
Eastman, contributed a cameo to Citizen Toxie: The Toxic
Avenger Part IV, which has opened in NY and LA to rave reviews
and sold out audiences. Thanks in part to Julie and Kevin’s performance
in the film, Citizen Toxie has or will open in all
major US markets within the next 3 months. Julie is without question
a super-goddess and these projects will more than demonstrate
those qualities we love about her.”
Tales From The Crapper is
in the same vein as films like Creepshow and Hellblock
13, in that there are two separate stories told by the
Crapkeeper (Played by Lloyd Kaufman). Free Ride
tells the story of a young man desperate to raise money for
college who unwittingly enters into a Faustian bargain with a
trio of vampire hookers led by Strain. Soul Stripper stars
Julie as a renegade undercover cop investigating a series of otherworldly
murders, including her husband’s, in a strip club. Soul Stripper
also features the Tro-Mantis, a Troma character featured on
E! Entertainment Television’s “Wild On…” series. Troma’s Tales
From The Crapper features Julie’s protégés, Arban Ornelas
and Masumi Max. Julie herself discovered these beautiful model/actresses,
and Troma’s Tales From The Crapper marks their first
feature project.
